2 - LUMINUITS

Luminuits are timid creatures. Usually lurking out of sight in the night, these shadow-figures emerge from their hiding places and await you on the Place des Festivals... The only way to reveal their personalities is through flash photography!

4 - APPARATUS FLORIUS

Applied to Montréal’s Place des Arts, the structure symbolizes the instinctive flow of a plant, taking over the city in search of light. The work questions the balance between the human adaptation and digitalization of our natural environment.

8 - VAGUE ESPIÈGLE

This illuminated installation consists of a series of modules of different dimensions and heights. The alternating motion, the force and the fluorescent reflection of the colours recall childhood and the nature of play. Once the structures are illuminated, the modules come to life.

9 - NOR MIND

NOR MIND is an interactive sculpture that reacts to the touch of the audience. Geometric patterns cover its surface and evolve constantly. With interaction, the random movement of the patterns is disrupted to follow the hand and body movements of the person interacting.

10 - CHIMES

30 light tubes and 8 speakers come to life at the slightest swaying of the chimes. A simple gust of wind or interaction with the public transforms the entire ambience of the space and creates new illuminated and aural motifs.

11 - LA GRANDE NUÉE

La grande nuée is a poetic interpretation of migratory movements. It’s an ode to odyssey, to mandatory journeys, to the many encounters and bonds forged over the years. Formed by 500 birds and as many young artists from two Montréal primary schools, La grande nuée is en route to new lands.

Nearly 500 students from Saint-Gabriel-Lalemant and Marguerite-Bourgeoys schools (CSDM) participated in this project, in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Judith Portier, a specialist in environmental design and Myriam Peixeiro. Presented in collaboration with Lait.

12 - NEXUS

Nexus means connection; the connection that gradually exists between existing inhabitants and newcomers. Nexus (2016) is—literally and metaphorically—a huge complex structure consisting out of different compartments that create a unity together. 200 light pipes create a smooth movement that moves upwards into the sky.

Nexus is a creation by Viktor Vicsek, produced by the Amsterdam Light Festival and presented by Light Art Collection and Illuminart.

Viktor Vicsek (Hungary) has been working for more than twenty years with light projections, from designing projections for theatre scenes and interactive dance performances, to 3D animations for projection mapping.
